Hello! I designed this for low-level Spanish students for a week where we celebrate Mexican heritage, May 4-8, 2020. I love art, so one day had to be dedicated to that. Each of my classes are just 30 minutes long in the quarantine environment (normally 30). Because this presentation is all in English, it is just long enough to take up that time and allow me 3-5 minutes to take attendance.

Want to catch your students' attention? Teach them French as spoken on the streets. Note: some slang words are acceptable in some company, but not in all. Regardless, an enjoyable presentation! Profitez-le! I recommend this for adolescents or adults learning languages, not necessarily children as it is slang, after all. Includes cultural dining/eating customs as well. NB: The expression on the title slide was created to mimic how they text.

Two for the price of one! Woohoo! Disclaimer: This is equally for Social Studies teachers as well as Spanish teachers who want to show English content about the Aztecs. The only Spanish in this book and presentation is in the single Spanish word on each slide, translated in the comments, and reviewed at great length in the packet. This would make a handy go-to for sub plans if you already taught the presentation.To understand how Mexico and present-day Mexicans came to be the way they are, you h

I break down how to form questions into 4 easy ways, complete with a recording for each example. After each rule, I do an example page, with recorded voice. I created my own tune to remember the interrogative pronouns. I end the power point with a small, interactive practice. If you purchase this, reach out to me and get the real power point version, complete with audio! I sing my interrogative pronoun in it! Very much worth it!
